Funny I saw that same tank/storage

I wouldnt use it. When I had my normal fuel cell with no pickups I tired to make an accmulator. It didnt work out too good. Still ran out of fuel here and there. I ended up making my own cell and running the pickups.

well,
I went and bought that tank/tool box thing last night......
but I think it'll be going in the tow rig instead...
the tank.....WAY bigger than I need.....much bigger than the "40 gallons" advertised......I'm guessing its somewhere between 60 and 75 gallons....

but, this may mean.....I'll put a smaller tank in the new rig, and just re-fuel out of the tow rig......
or, put diesel in the tank and be almost able to make it to vegas and back empty w/ stopping for fuel....


either way....
I still need a fuel tank for the new rig.....

I'd say minimum size would be around 25 gallons....

ideas..???

Ben

which brings me to my next dilema....

I'm uber-tight on time.....and I'm really NOT going to have time to build a tank before Goldendale.....
but "I KNOW" that building a tank for it is what needs to happen for this to be what I want.....I could save so much space, and design it w/ a built in ~0.5 gallon sump....

anybody got a fuel cell I can borrow till after goldendale??

So where are the new pictures?

I'll get some pictures for you tomorrow nancy.....

I didn't take a single picture all weekend.....


I'm not sure I'm going to be done for Goldendale...
 
If you hadn't spent all Friday pissing around in the scrapyard, I suspect you might have gotten more accomplished. :flipoff:

Me? I spent the better part of Sunday playing Xbox. It was hot outside.
 
finally got some more pics...
